... I have to say I agree with you though. Floyd didn't fight "whoever they put infront of him", he selectively cherry picked his opponents.
...Is Negro one of these flomo things I am hearing about.

They have a cinema-like quality to them in that he had this unbreakable will to win and just flooded his opponents with workrate. I don't care what any hater says, they're not diminishing my enjoyment of those fights one bit.
Joe Calzaghe's work rate is what I enjoyed. I personally think Joe's talent was wasted in part by staying in the UK exclusively. Sure he was in the USA for his last 2 fights, but, imagine if he would have come here in the middle of his career? He would have become a world attraction on PPV.
Its a shame really. The world never got to see the best Calzaghe on the big stage against the most dominant fighters of his era.
Calzaghe was a joy to watch, because his opponents would always make fun of his punches and how they were slappy - come fight night you'd watch Joe KO 'em in spectacular fashion. They never had any shit to say post fight though. haha lol.
